0-6 against the Oilers, and hardly looking competitive in those games, is all that I need to see. We gifted them 8 points last season, and are well on our way to doing the same this season (10 points, actually, as we play 5 times this year).
Could you imagine, going 0-9 against the Oilers over two seasons, being the reason they were given the easy 1st Round matchup vs the Sharks in 2017, and the reason they were able to claw their way back to a wildcard spot in 2018?
GG's Flames are largely to blame for the hype machine that has exploded around the Oilers over the last 14 months.
If losing to a Flyers team that's on a 10-game losing streak is the nail in GG's coffin... then we better lose, while Treliving can still turn this season around.

Largely to blame? Ha. It’s a perfect storm up there for out of control expectations. The Flames have played a very small part.
But those out of control expectations have been blamed — by the Oilers — for their bad season. So, I guess, thanks GG?
